You're correct on your analysis, older governments and the farming industry alike essentially ignored the problem hoping it would go away (spoiler: it didnt).

Luckily that farmer party is not big anymore. They do still hold quite some seats in the Dutch senate from the 1-2 elections they were big (which they will lose in a couple of years), but not in the house anymore, where they are essentially only a small party now and hold / are projected no more than 2-4 seats of 150 seats in total. (Sadly most of their voters jumped ship to the next group of populists, the anti immigration party ๐Ÿฅฒ)

but if you had infinite usable desk space then what, exactly, would be the argument against it?

So I guess we agree then. Circumstances make something more or less optimal, meaning they are not objectively more optimal in every situation. That was my entire point, nothing more.

That's true, and if that's the case then that definitely changes the choice. Although, afaik these smaller keyboards often come with software to remap keys or add macro's at the driver level. (And for this choice specifically, 75% keyboard and higher do seem to mostly have both F keys and home/end). But yeah, some people's use consist of just writing emails and streaming video, in which case they won't care about any of that.

If a full-sized keyboard provides all the keys you reasonably need to do your tasks efficiently, then yes a full-sized keyboard is superior. But that is just not the use case for everyone, hence why it can't be objectively so. Unless you want to imply that more keys even if you don't need them is better anyways.

If so, you could argue this monstrosity of a keyboard (or something even bigger) is what everyone should be using if they have the space, since it has way more buttons than a full-sized keyboard, making it even more objectively superior. In reality you would not use more than 30% of the buttons on that keyboard, so the rest might as well not exist. But if you are, I don't know, some macro-wizard playing 4 instances of WoW at the same time, maybe it is objectively superior for your needs, but for me a normal sized keyboard would do.

But to try and sense where you're coming from, it should also be said that someone telling you their choice is better and disregarding that your criteria aren't the same as theirs is being silly as well. And sometimes they can be stubborn and agitated about that as well - exactly the kind of hostility I meant in my initial comment. But someone's got to step up and swallow their pride and accept it really is just all subjective at the end of the day.

While I love my full-sized keyboard, respectfully - who cares. The whole idea of a PC is the freedom to use whatever you want.

Keyboards, controllers, speech to text, a wii-mote, literal bananas/bread, eye/blink trackers, whatever suits you best. Insisting there's a best device for everyone doesn't change people's minds and just leads to hostility when we should be glad more people are using the device that makes them happy. One day you might be one of them when your circumstances or preferences change.

Even gechecked, de laatste 5 van de avondshow (behalve de laatste, die was langer) waren 24:03, 23:22, 24:37, 25:11, 25:48 zonder reclameblok en de eerste van LUBACH is 23:12 zonder reclameblok. Je hebt dus sort of gelijk, maar aangezien het een beetje schommelt, en dat interview aan het eind toch al een beetje padding was zie ik het wel als ongeveer hetzelfde, maar we gaan zien of die trend doorzet.

(Also, online met adblocker heb je geen last van dat reclameblok ๐Ÿ˜„)

Surprised I had to scroll down so far to find 3, it's just the same as 5 but with better grip around the finger tips, which avoids the pen from twisting when you hold it tightly.

Was volgensmij net zo lang als eerder? Ze moeten ook genoeg content maken binnen een dag dus snap wel dat ze niet veel opschalen.

Het stuk over Dick Schoof was geniaal overigens.

Don't think anyone in the EU really hates the UK. It's more that we saw someone we had good ties with make a bad mistake. We still like the UK as an ally. And most people would probably be happy with an agreeable return of them to the EU.
